- Hello all,
-
- sorry, if this is a FAQ...
-
- I try to use MX for the delivery to decnet nodes. My hope: if the node
- is down, MX will retry (not only abort on the first try like vmsmail).
-
- I tested with a nonexisting node named "down" :-)
-
- DEFINE REWRITE_RULE "<{USER}@DOWN>" "<DOWN::USER>"
-
- The rewrite takes place, but then MX attemps to deliver via the smtp
- path (which is the last one in the path list).
-
- My questions: can I really do this with MX? Where are my faults, what
- definitions are missing? What is the recommended procedure for this
- task?
-
- Thank you.
- Hans.
